Chapter 1191 - 1191 One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Four It Seems to Be a Genius

1191: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Four: It Seems to Be a Genius 1191: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Four: It Seems to Be a Genius Gao Yang’s face looked terrible.

Seeing Gao Yang’s extremely pale face, the jubilant Frey immediately calmed down.

He sat next to Gao Yang and whispered, “Boss, I’m sorry.”

Gao Yang didn’t know what to say and didn’t want to say anything, so he just waved his hands dismissively.

Frey said earnestly, “Boss, I will play baseball, I definitely will, you can count on it.

Our company is about to be set up.

I promise you, once our company is up and running, and we don’t need to personally take the field anymore, I will go play baseball immediately, okay?”

Gao Yang nodded and sighed, “I hope that day comes soon.”

Frey tried to lighten the mood and chuckled, spreading his hands, “You know what, Boss?

I used to love the New York Mets the most, but now I don’t want to join them anymore.

I want to join the Texas Rangers; I have to fulfill my promise to Harrison.

So even if I can play baseball in the future, I’ll definitely strive to join the Texas Rangers.

Boss, you’ll have to help me then.”

Gao Yang gave a bitter smile and said, “You won’t need my help.

Just stand out there, throw a few pitches, and any team you want to join, you can.”

Frey laughed, “I don’t know where you all get this confidence in me from; I’m not that great.”

Gao Yang, looking dejected, said, “I didn’t know how great you were either, but I found out today.

The New York Yankees scout nearly popped his eyes out.

What did he say to you?

Didn’t you hear?

Oh, maybe you really didn’t.

But then again, today wasn’t completely without gains.

At least now I know you are indeed a genius.”

Glolov smiled and said, “Oh, there was a scout watching Frey play ball today?

How did it go?

Gao, tell us in detail.”

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “There’s not much to say, really.

I first approached the New York Mets, but they didn’t have a scout available to watch Frey play.

Then I approached the Mets coaching staff, but they turned us down, and we left on bad terms.

Later, I had no choice but to have a New York Yankees scout come take a look instead.

Morgan’s friend helped find the Yankees scout, um, and the eventual result was that the scout nearly lost his eyeball and immediately offered a lot of conditions hoping Frey would join the New York Yankees.

I wasn’t listening carefully at the time, but I’m sure Frey must have performed very well.

Exactly how well?

We’d have to ask a professional.

I wouldn’t know.”

Tommy scratched his head and asked, “Why can’t you just record Frey’s pitching and send the video to those teams?”

The biggest problem for Gao Yang and the others is that none of them understands baseball.

Even Frey himself doesn’t know how good he is.

It’s easy to dominate in a few casual games, but that doesn’t prove anything.

The standard of professional league players can’t be demonstrated by just a few casual games, so they must be affirmed by professional scouts to be meaningful.

Gao Yang shook his head and said, “It won’t work.

This method can’t capture anyone’s attention, and nowadays, videos can be faked.

No team is interested in a player who sends in a video proactively; they wouldn’t even bother to watch it.

Besides, the aim was to have Frey join the Mets, so naturally, we need a professional scout to take a look.

Otherwise, how could we know how great Frey really is?”

Frey said angrily, “Even if I would join the New York Yankees, I would never join the New York Mets!

Starting today, I’m no longer a fan of the Mets.

If I really can play baseball, then I will definitely show them!”

After finishing his speech, Frey waved his hand, using a not-so-certain tone, “Of course, there’s no guarantee that a prestigious team like the Yankees would want me.

Besides, my goal is to beat the Yankees.

I owe it to Harrison, so I’ve got to join the Texas Rangers.

If possible, if I could help the Rangers beat the Yankees, that would be even better.”

Gao Yang said regretfully, “Who says you can’t join the Yankees?

I told you, that scout immediately offered you a bunch of generous conditions, you just didn’t hear it.

If you’re willing to join the Yankees, I think it definitely shouldn’t be a problem, right?

After all, the opinion of a professional scout should be taken seriously by the team, right?”

Tommy shook his head and said, “That’s not necessarily true.

I don’t understand baseball, but from what I know about football, even if a scout likes a player, the team might not want him.

At least they would have to go through multiple trials with the team, right?”

None of them really understood, so Gao Yang and the others could only speculate.

While they were discussing how great Frey was, Gao Yang’s phone rang.

Gao Yang took out his phone; Frey and the others immediately fell silent.

After looking at the number, Gao Yang said gravely, “It’s Morgan’s friend; let me take this call.”

As soon as Gao Yang answered the phone, Cecil’s voice came through.

“Gao!

I need to discuss your friend’s matter seriously with you.

Here’s the thing, can you bring your friend to try out at the New York Yankees’ training facilities?

No, not a tryout, think of it as a visit, and just have your friend throw a few pitches casually.

Pal, your friend’s performance was astonishing, but he only pitched a few balls.

The New York Yankees are very sincere in inviting you guys to come and show a bit more.”

Gao Yang glanced at Frey, then said helplessly, “Mr.

Johnny, I’m truly sorry, but my friend, well, he can’t make it, there are some issues, and he doesn’t want to play baseball.

I’m sorry, but I think a trip to the New York Yankees is off the table for now.

Mr.

Johnny, I really appreciate the huge favor you did for me, but I’m sorry, my friend can’t make it.”

“Oh Mr.

Gao, your friend likes the New York Mets, right?

That’s not a problem, Mr.

Gao, that’s really not a problem.

Please let your friend think it over again, and Gao, help me persuade your friend to consider the New York Yankees.

Also, also, at least tell me your friend’s name, will you?”

Gao Yang helplessly said, “Sorry, Mr.

Johnny, I need his own consent, so I’m really sorry.”

Cecil refused to give up easily, but with the conversation at this point, he could only helplessly hang up.

After some more pleasantries, Gao Yang looked at Frey with a wry smile after hanging up the phone and said, “The person who came to look for a scout, a friend of the New York Yankees owner, it seems he was invited to be a mediator.

Frey, now we can at least confirm two things.

First, you are indeed very talented and impressive.

Second, the New York Yankees really want you.

The identity of the mediator just now is not simple.

If they weren’t eager to see you pitch again, it’s not likely they would’ve made him come as a mediator.”

Frey shook his head with a relaxed expression and said, “Who cares, Boss, as long as you turned them down for me, I’m not going to go anyway.”

Gao Yang felt even more regretful, but there was nothing else he could do at this point apart from feeling regret.

Less than three minutes went by before Gao Yang’s phone rang again.

He thought it was another call from Cecil, but upon checking, he frowned and said, “It’s Morgan.

Morgan is not here to be a mediator too, is he?”

Gao Yang answered the call, and indeed, Morgan was there to be a mediator.

“Gao, is Frey really that good?

Why is Cecil going crazy like this?

He told me—no, he begged me to definitely make this call.

What on earth happened?”

Gao Yang bitterly said, “Cecil helped find a scout for the New York Yankees.”

“I know that, what next?”

“Next, the scout saw Frey pitching, and then, that scout seemed very interested in Frey.

But Frey ran off, so I think the scout went to find Cecil, asking him to contact me because it was me who was dealing with the scout, after all.”

Morgan said in confusion, “No, no, the New York Yankees are not just interested in Frey; they are determined to get him.

Cecil didn’t make it very clear when he talked to me earlier.

He just begged me to make a call and ask you guys to seriously consider letting Frey go to the New York Yankees, Cecil also said every condition is negotiable, uh, is Frey really a genius?”

Gao Yang looked at Frey and said with a bitter smile, “Given the current situation, that seems to be the case, uh, I think so.”

Morgan said with difficulty, “This is a bit tough, Gao.

I have a good relationship with Cecil, and he is an avid Yankees fan.

He’s had VIP season tickets for the Yankees for more than thirty years now.

He even said he’s begging me, this is a tough one, Gao.

What exactly does Cecil want you guys to do?

Is it possible to meet his request?”

Gao Yang sighed and said, “The New York Yankees want Frey, but the thing is, Frey doesn’t want to go, it’s not about not wanting to go to the Yankees, it’s that Frey refuses to play baseball, he wants to stay with Satan; Morgan, I can’t persuade Frey.

In fact, I just tried to persuade him intensely, but unfortunately, I failed.”

Morgan said in an annoyed tone, “Shit, not becoming a superstar, but insisting on being a damn mercenary, this damned brotherhood, that makes it really troublesome, no possibility at all?”

Gao Yang helplessly said, “Frey was so agitated he even pulled a gun, what do you think?”

Morgan sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll turn Cecil down.

Uh, I’ll try to persuade Frey again.

The New York Yankees value him so much, being a star is better than being a mercenary, huh, forget it, you did what you could.

I’m hanging up now.”

Gao Yang hung up the phone and said to Frey with a wry smile, “I’m starting to regret it now.

I think it would be better for you to play baseball, F**k, your not playing baseball is a big loss for Major League Baseball.”

Frey said nervously, “Boss, you can’t do this, we’ve already made a deal.”

Gao Yang waved his hand helplessly and said, “Don’t worry, I was just saying.”

As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, Morgan called again.

Gao Yang answered the phone, but heard Morgan say helplessly, “Gao, you must help out this time.

Hank just called me, oh, the owner of the New York Yankees.

He and Cecil called me together, you know, I have a good relationship with them, you really have to help out this time, even if it’s just to have Frey show his face, alright?” (To be continued.
